AI agents overwhelmingly prefer Bitcoin over fiat in new study

A Bitcoin Policy Institute study of 36 AI models found Bitcoin was the top monetary choice in 48% of responses, but more than half preferred stablecoins for payment scenarios.

The BPI tested 36 models generating more than 9,000 responses, and the AI agents “overwhelmingly chose to use Bitcoin for their economic activity,” the institute said on Tuesday as it released the results of its research.
